Summertime @ Aud Sentiments!

With the UK probably going to have a wash out Summer of rain this year (again!) - boo =( I thought I would get in the Summer mood with Aud Sentiments new challenge!

This fortnight the theme is Summer, so we want to see: 

A card or project with a sentiment for Summer, this could be something like 'Fun in the Sun', 'Picnic Time' and 'Surf's Up' - Use your imagination!

We are sponosored this fortnight by Stamp & Create

So here's my creation for this Summer challenge

 

 

I used various papers from American Crafts Collections - Take Note, Abroad & Amy Tangerine's Yes Please collection. I used the Lacy Ovals and Ovals dies from Spellbinders, blue cherry blossoms from Wild Orchid Crafts, small blue satin roses from Papermania, EK Success' Carnation 3D flower punch and Fiskars' Doily border punch. The image is Summer Mae from Some Odd Girl and the sentiment 'Wish You Were Here' was stamped in Harold's ABC from Lawn Fawn inked in Momento's Tuxedo Black and edged in Momento's Blue Lagoon.

 

Hope you like my creation. Team A's creations are live on the Aud Sentiments Blog site now, make sure you come back for Team B's creations for more awesome inspiration! 

Bingo! Aud Sentiments Challenge 57

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by!

It's not what you think - when I said Bingo. Unless you're psychic and you can read my mind! Challenge 57 at Aud Sentiments has unleashed our very own 'Bingo' board - but this one has no numbers on it but creative options for you to create your entry with!

Here's our 'Bingo' board:

For this fortnight's challenge you will need to pick a row or column and use the three items to create your project. The sentiment you use for your project must contain the word or phrase in your chosen column or row, but you can add to this if you wish to. So, for exmaple if you choose the column containing: "Happy", Ribbon and Die Cut, then you can use 'Happy Birthday'.

So... I picked the middle column: Flowers, Embossing and 'Thinking of You' and created this card below:

I used pink cardstock as a card base and then used 6 x 6 papers from Prima's Madeline collection. I then embossed a 'ticket' shape that I handcut from red Papermania cardstock with the 'Floral Fantasy' embossing folder from Cuttlebug. I ran this through my Sizziz Texture Boutique.The same process was used for the smaller 'ticket' embossed with a 'Dots' embossing folder from Sizzix. I used some dark pink two-tone 25mm open roses from Wild Orchid Crafts and some small rose buds from my stash. The image used is The Greeting Farm's 'Sweet Anya coloured in with Promarkers: Walnut for hair, Antique Pink for the dress and Rose Pink for the shorts / trousers and hair clip, Oatmeal was used for her face, arms and feet. The sentiment is from Hero Arts Essential Sentiment set.

Our fortnight's challenge is sponsored by: Stamp and Create
